How deep is the ear canal?
Question 1: Who can post the ear structure map? I wonder how deep the ear canal is. This is the whole structure of the ear. External auditory canal: 2.5-3.5CM long is composed of cartilage and bone, and the second bone accounts for about 1/3 of it. There are two strictures in the external auditory canal, one is the junction of bone and cartilage, and the other is that the distance between bone and tympanic membrane is about 0. At 5CM, the latter is called isthmus of external auditory canal, and the external auditory canal is S-shaped. There is little subcutaneous tissue in the external auditory canal, and the skin is almost attached to the perichondrium and periosteum, so when the infection is swollen, it is easy to cause nerve endings to be compressed and cause severe pain. Cartilage skin contains cerumen glands similar to sweat glands, which can secrete cerumen and are rich in hair follicles and sebaceous glands.

Question 2: How deep is the ear canal? Inadvertently put a cotton swab deeper into the ear hole. Will it damage the eardrum and the inside of the ear? Buy cotton swabs instead of cheap cotton swabs. Cheap cotton swabs are of poor quality and there is little cotton. It's easy to accidentally hurt your ears after taking a shower. It is recommended to buy a good quality cotton swab and wipe your ears within 2 cm after each bath.

Question 3: How deep the ear is pulled out will hurt the eardrum, what is the feeling of hurting the eardrum, and will it continue to hurt? The length of the adult external auditory canal is generally 2.5-3.5cm, which means that this distance is the distance from the mouth of the external auditory canal to the eardrum. Your description should not hurt the eardrum. If there is tympanic membrane injury, patients usually have different degrees of pain or bleeding and hearing loss, but the diagnosis still needs patients to go to the hospital to let doctors see the external auditory canal.

Question 4: How deep are people's ears? Can you touch the eardrum by pulling out your ear? Ear consists of outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.

External auditory canal: 2.5-3.5CM long, composed of cartilage and bone, of which cartilage accounts for about 65,438+0/3. There are two strictures in the external auditory canal, one is the junction of bone and cartilage, and the other is that the distance between bone and tympanic membrane is about 0. At 5CM, the latter is called isthmus of external auditory canal, and the external auditory canal is S-shaped. There is little subcutaneous tissue in the external auditory canal, and the skin is almost attached to the perichondrium and periosteum, so when the infection is swollen, it is easy to cause nerve endings to be compressed and cause severe pain. Cartilage skin contains cerumen glands similar to sweat glands, which can secrete cerumen and are rich in hair follicles and sebaceous glands.

The middle ear includes: the tympanum: the tympanum is an air-containing cavity located between the eardrum and the inner ear side wall. There are ossicles, muscles and ligaments in the tympanic cavity, and the cavity is covered by mucosa. The outer wall of the tympanic cavity is the tympanic membrane.

Eustachian tube: the tube connecting the tympanum and nasopharynx, with a total length of about 35MM for adults. The external 1/3 is bone and 2/3 is cartilage. The external 1/3 internal pharyngeal orifice is located in the lateral wall of nasopharynx. The tympanic orifice of the adult eustachian tube is about 2-2.5CM higher than the pharyngeal orifice, and the tympanic orifice of the child is nearly horizontal, with short lumen and wide inner diameter. Therefore, children's pharyngeal infection is easily introduced into the tympanic cavity through this tube.

The ear itself has a self-cleaning function and does not need to be removed frequently. If the method is improper, it will easily cause damage to the external auditory canal, and it will also lead to furuncle, inflammation and ulceration of the external auditory canal, which will lead to unbearable earache and affect mouth opening and chewing. It is easy to cause otitis media, and in severe cases it may cause ear canal tumors. If the ear spoon is not disinfected, it may lead to malignant transformation of tumors in the ear. The longer it takes, it will eventually block the ear canal and lead to hearing loss.

Question 5: How much can I put into my ear when pulling out the ear spoon so as not to hurt the eardrum? Don't pick your ears casually.

In life, we often see some people like to take matchsticks, small hair clips and other things to pull out their ear wax when they are free, and say they are comfortable. In fact, it is very harmful, from ear canal inflammation to hearing loss or even loss. Why is this?

It turns out that the skin of our external auditory canal is relatively thin, closely connected with the perichondrium, with less subcutaneous tissue and poor blood circulation. Earwax, medically called cerumen, is the secretion of cerumen gland of external auditory canal, which has a certain protective effect on the skin of external auditory canal, but too much cerumen will block the external auditory canal, affect hearing, and sometimes make the external auditory canal itchy. So, if there is too much earwax, take it out. However, if the ear is pulled out improperly, it is most likely to cause external auditory canal injury and infection, boils, ear pain, and even hearing loss in severe cases. Often pulling out the ear will also make the cuticle of the external auditory canal swell and block the hair follicle, which is conducive to the growth of bacteria, leading to itchy ears and yellow water. The skin of the external auditory canal is chronically congested for a long time, and it is easy to secrete cerumen glands, but there will be more earwax. Frequent ear plucking can easily lead to the proliferation of skin squamous cells or grass-roots cells, which can induce external auditory canal tumors. At the same time, it is easy to bring mold into the external auditory canal, which makes the ear itch unbearable. If mold grows on the eardrum, hearing loss and tinnitus may occur.

The eardrum is a thin film with a thickness of about 0.1mm. If you pull out your ear with a sharp tool, you will accidentally stab or even pierce the eardrum, which will seriously lead to deafness.

There is a lot of earwax. The correct treatment method is to roll absorbent cotton into cotton swabs and gently clean them out. If there is too much earwax to take out, you can go to the hospital for treatment.

Question 6: How to wow your earwax? I can't see or know how deep it is. The ear canal is curved. Hello, you can't dig this yourself. It is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.

Question 7: How to take out the deep ear thorn? There will only be earwax in the ear canal. Why are there ear thorns?
